Backlot Express at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has given the Wookiee Cookie a seasonal Star Wars makeover for Life Day. The $7.49 Life Day Wookiee Cookie pairs two oatmeal cookies with cassis eggnog buttercream and a white chocolate coin.
The bright crimson dessert replaces the classic cookie’s vanilla cream filling and milk-chocolate sash with pink buttercream and a “Life Day” coin. Like the original, it is a large oatmeal-cookie sandwich, though WDWNT described the cookie layers as more cake-like and uniform in thickness.
In its review, WDWNT found the cookies dry and chewy, with the eggnog flavor more prominent than the cassis. The outlet gave the dessert a 4 out of 7 rating and noted that its size makes it better suited to sharing. Guests who prefer vanilla cream or do not enjoy eggnog may want to stick with the standard Wookiee Cookie.
